What we inspect

Every inspection follows strict Washington State Standards of Practice (WAC 308-408C). Our visual evaluation covers all readily accessible elements:

  • Attic inspection for insulation displacement, roof leaks, and framing truss uplift
  • Crawlspace review for post-construction standing water, missing vapor barriers, or plumbing leaks
  • HVAC ductwork connection checks and mechanical operational performance verification
  • Exterior siding clearance, caulking, flashing, and gutter drainage assessment
Scope Boundaries

What requires a specialist

To provide honest, professional clarity, we clearly delineate where a home inspection ends and where dedicated trade contractors or municipal utilities are required:

  • Cosmetic paint touch-up punch-lists (focus is on warrantable building systems and defects)
  • Legal arbitration or mediation with builders
🌲

The First Year of Settling in Southwest Washington

During a newly built home’s first four seasons in the wet Pacific Northwest climate, framing timbers dry and shrink while saturated soils settle. This leads to hidden crawlspace moisture, unsealed exterior transitions, and door/window racking that builders are legally obligated to correctβ€”provided defects are submitted before the 365-day deadline.

"Zach, owner of Just In Time Inspections, provided excellent, quick and accurate inspection of my home. I thought I might have a water leak. He used his high tech equipment to assess the area and provided both great verbal discussion during the inspection and a written report soon afterwards. Highly recommended!"

Answers to Common Inquiries

Frequently asked questions about 11-Month Warranty Inspection

Direct, transparent answers to help you make informed decisions before scheduling.

Why do I need an inspection on a new home that passed city codes?

Municipal building inspectors spend only 10 to 15 minutes checking basic code minimums at specific build phases. They do not test every window, climb into the finished crawlspace, or verify that insulation wasn’t knocked loose by subcontractors. An independent 3-hour inspection catches defects before repair bills become your responsibility.
